Clackamas fire officials worked with the Oregon Department of Forestry and Colton Rural Fire Protection District to extinguish the 30-acre fire, which was downsized to 20 acres by Friday evening.
Crews used a helicopter to create water drops and give an aerial view of the fire. They told KOIN 6 that the helicopter helped contain the blaze, but firefighters would likely be working through the weekend for mop-ups.
According to ODF, two homes remained threatened as of Friday evening, but there were no known injuries.
All evacuation levels for the fire were lifted at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.
